Sandy has grown from a suburb near the mountains into a legitimate dining destination of its own.
Between new developments and revamped neighborhood spots, you’ll find everything from polished American fare to creative global flavors. These five restaurants highlight what’s happening now.
1. Sobe Eats
Sobe Eats brings a stylish, fast‑casual energy to Sandy, with a menu inspired by Latin flavors and a clean, modern interior.
It’s bright, upbeat, and set up for both dine‑in and quick takeout.
Bowls, tacos, and salads are built around marinated proteins, fresh toppings, and house‑made sauces. Think citrusy chicken, slow‑cooked pork, and plant‑forward options like roasted veggies, all paired with rice, beans, crunchy slaws, and bold salsas. It’s customizable, reasonably healthy, and still satisfying.
2. Taqueria 27 (Sandy Location)
Taqueria 27’s Sandy outpost combines a casual taquería setup with chef‑driven toppings and a serious tequila lineup.
The dining room feels contemporary and lively, with a bar that’s often buzzing during happy hour.
Tacos come in inventive combinations—duck confit, carne asada with clever sauces, fish tacos with bright slaws—alongside more traditional options.
Guacamole variations, shareable starters, and rotating specials keep things interesting. Margaritas and tequila flights round out the experience.
3. Slackwater Pizzeria & Pub
Slackwater brings a “craft pizza and beer” sensibility to Sandy, with a big, airy space and a relaxed, mountain‑town feel.
It’s the kind of place that works well after a day on the slopes or a casual weekend night out.
Pizzas range from classic to adventurous, with creative toppings and sturdy, well‑baked crusts.
You’ll also find sandwiches, salads, and appetizers that go beyond typical pub fare. The tap list is a major draw, featuring local and regional craft beers and ciders.
4. Sauce Boss Southern Kitchen
Sauce Boss Southern Kitchen offers comfort‑food soul in the shadow of the Wasatch.
The decor is simple and welcoming, with a focus on big plates and bigger flavors.
The menu leans into fried chicken, catfish, shrimp and grits, ribs, and classic sides like collard greens, mac and cheese, and cornbread.
Sauces and seasonings are the star—smoky, spicy, tangy, and rich. It’s a great choice when only hearty, Southern‑style comfort food will do.
5. Corner Bakery & Café–Style Breakfast Spots
Sandy’s newer crop of breakfast and brunch‑oriented cafes offers a more modern alternative to chains and diners.
Think bright interiors, decent espresso drinks, and menus with scrambles, avocado toast, grain bowls, and loaded pancakes or French toast.
These cafes are ideal for remote work sessions, relaxed weekend brunches, or a quick but upgraded weekday breakfast—proof that Sandy’s food scene is catching up to its rapid growth.
